Fiber

Consuming vast amounts of fiber is reported to be essential for aiding digestion. Fiber comes in two different forms, soluble and insoluble and both are believed to play an important role in monitoring blood sugar levels and speeding up the passage of food through the system.

Soluble fiber is reported to be essential for slowing the rate at which glucose is absorbed into the bloodstream and for helping control blood sugar levels. It may be discovered in such foods such as Brown rice, pulses and oats.
Insoluble fibre, which is also known as roughage, is believed to speed up the passage of food residues through the digestive tract, and this in turn is said to help keep the intestines in great working order and decrease the risk of bowel cancer and gallstones. Roughage may be found in foods such as nuts, rice, wholegrains and vegetables.
